The sixth annual PharmaChemical Ireland Industry Award for Excellence for Irish science teachers has been launched. It is aimed at promoting and recognising outstanding teaching.
Principals are asked to nominate a team of excellent Science teachers within their school that they consider worthy of receiving such an award. In order to nominate a team of teachers, the attached application form needs be downloaded here or from the PharmaChemical Ireland website www.pharamchemicalireland.ie
Completed forms can be emailed to Ms. Siobhan Dean at siobhan.dean@ibec.ie.
The closing date for applications is Tuesday the 19th March. All application forms received will be assessed by a judging panel consisting of representatives from PharmaChemical Ireland. The top teams will be notified of their success by Friday the 22th March.
The PharmaChemical Ireland Award recipients will each receive a paid trip to attend the ISTA Conference on 12th-14th April 2013. The recipients will receive a free science show for their school during science week 2013. The award recipients will be honoured at the ISTA Conference dinner on Saturday 13th April in the Ashdown Park Hotel.
Please note that there will be no need for the teachers to make a public presentation at the conference as has been the case in recent years!
